How Often Should Small Cars Be Inspected After 6 Years
2 Answers
Small cars' inspection frequency after 6 years depends on vehicle age: 1. Different inspection cycles for different vehicle ages: For vehicles aged between 6-15 years, annual inspection is required; for vehicles over 15 years old, inspection every 6 months is required. 2. Introduction: This refers to safety inspections conducted on vehicles with official license plates and registration certificates according to motor vehicle operational safety technical requirements. The purposes are: examining key technical conditions, urging enhanced maintenance to keep vehicles in good condition and ensure driving safety. 3. Vehicle inspection items include: (1) Checking whether engines, chassis, body and accessories are clean, complete and functional; whether paintwork is uniform and aesthetically pleasing; whether major assemblies have been replaced and match initial inspection records. (2) Verifying whether braking systems, steering controls, lighting, exhaust emissions and other safety performance meet requirements.
Small cars must undergo an annual inspection after 6 years. My own small car has been running for almost 10 years, long past this threshold, so I have to spend some time every year going for the annual inspection. The process is quite simple, mainly checking the braking system, light brightness, tire condition, etc., to ensure the vehicle remains roadworthy despite aging. For example, last time my car's brake discs were worn out, but I discovered and fixed it in time, narrowly avoiding an accident. The government imposes this rule because older cars are more prone to issues, and an annual inspection helps reduce the risk of accidents. I advise car owners not to slack off—choose a proper inspection station and maybe get a minor service while you're at it to keep your car running longer. Remember, the timing is based on the registration date, and missing it might result in a fine.
